Lakers have tons of cap space, they will be very good very quick. Nobody is mentioning KD going there but they could make a great pitch to him.

You make it sound like no superstar on a winning team has left when they were a free agent. Plenty of superstars have done it over the years, and plenty more will continue to do it.

In saying that though, as far as young talent goes, the T-Wolves look like the early OKC teams in how they're built

I predict he will not do well, even beyond the lack of talent on their roster.

If I had my druthers I'd have given a more serious look to current Spur assistant coach and Euro-league coaching legend Ettore Messina, but the thinking is that Walton and the Laker young core can grow together. I mean, Luke Walton isn't a former Cavs head coach like Mike Brown and Byron Scott so that right there makes me favorably inclined. Obviously LA is 2 years away at the minimum but D'Angelo Russell, Randle, Clarkson and Larry Nance are a group you can build around. Throw in another rookie and a max contract free agent and you might just have something.
Someone on this blog could of took over the golden state and can come out smelling like roses with that team and talent.
